1t has been learned in como psrts Of the
city the Democratic bosses and booders
have promised their local agents $500 for
each election district for use on Tuesday,
This will allow the purchase at S. each Of
aixty voters In each district. or 1920
voters In all. But no doubt twice that
amount will be placed in some Of tho cleo.
ton districts, as in the XVIII Assembly
District there was appoytioned 500 to each
election district last year, when the boodle
fund was not over half as largo.
II Ia not only In the purchasa OF illegal
votes that danger is feared by the Rspub.

AN ArrERTnouGHr PROMPTED by FEAR.
Until the Democrats realized that they
were in danger OF lon,rg the STATE, and
that tho additional election oflicess might
stand in the way Of manipulating tho TO.
turns, they had not word to ssy against
Igiving tho inspectors to the George party.
Since they made the discovery OF, their
danger, thsy have tried in oyery possible
way TO nulI:fy tho law. They aided in
organizlng cham opposition labor party,
furnished monsy for litigation, snd tho
Democrat Police Commissioners openly
aided in defeating the intent OF the law.
There could only be one object in thia eli.
tort OF tho bosses end boodlers snd that Is
to Lesson rs much rs possible the obstaelen
in tho way Of manipulating the returns,
This ia ono Of ths great dangers, and
watchers are needed at every poll until
the returns arc sli countsd, as election Of
ficsrs may be tempted by offors OF large
aums OF money TO conuiys at fraudulent
